iTunes sorts only the new songs from the album artist; Cannot select multiple artists

I had this problem for awhile now.  Whenever I have add a new song to my library, it will sort as a new artist, even if I already have this artist.  For example, I'll add a new Bayside song to my library, and despite the fact that I already have two albums of Bayside, the new song will sort itself separately from him, leaving me with two Baysides.  The only way to fix it is to add the album artist in both the novel and the stuff I already had.  It's incredibly frustrating, especially since iTunes allow me to select several artists both in the artist's view (although I can select several songs and albums - this seems to be a problem only when the view is the sidebar, as in the views of artist, Genre and composer).

Help with fixing a problem (preferably both, although) it would be appreciated.

I am currently using iTunes 12.3.2.

It's a response of turingtest2 to a very similar to your question.  Maybe this will help.

12 iTunes keeps having the same artist twice in the artist column

Using the view songs grab all the tracks by an artist of the album given that you are having problems with and then read the information. Tab sort add set Album artist & artist album, X, click OK, and then return to . If you synchronize your content on a non - iOS such as classical iPod device, then you must also make sure artist is constant in the whole album. I propose generally invited and artists featured in the names of individual songs.

  • Deletion of albums of my iTunes library also removes the songs from these albums of my playlists

    Hello! I wonder if there is a way to delete albums of my iTunes library without removing songs from these albums of my playlists.

    I take my playlists seriously enough (because I know others do too) and would not that they be tampered with. The songs I have in them that I'm here for a reason and a lot of these songs are single whole albums I've saved in my iTunes library. I just recently the desire to clean my library because he got rather crowded with reckless decisions, but I can't do it until I have a solution. I'm glad that I remembered that this might affect my playlists before any serious damage was done.

    I still have to find a question like this or a setting that would allow me to do. Please help me if you have an idea of how to go on this subject! Thank you very much in advance

    No, you cannot delete an album on iTunes and at the same time not delete tracks. You could potentially change the details of the track so that less albums appear in the library, but I'm reluctant to even suggest that he. Data are always more easily thrown only recovered later.

  • All I seek Tunes produces only the Album options

    WWhenever I search for iTunes, if I'm looking for the name of the artist/group or the title of a piece of music or the title of an album, iTunes displays only the titles of the Album of this specific artist / group.  ITunes will display a screen with the artist / Groupmost popular Singles, followed by albums, followed by byRingtones.  I have not changed any options in the preferences.  Could I have selected an option on the main screen of iTunes by mistake and not noticed?

    Darrell,

    Just to be safe, I assume you mean on the iTunes Store, not the research in your own library.

    In the store, put the point under the albums songs.  Most popular show first, and then there's a 'all' to see the complete set, as in the example below:

  • Song from an Album of her own 50th Album

    If I'm honest it's a compilation with two discs of 25 CD. The 25th song on the second CD is in her own album with the same exact information. Is it all just because iTunes cannot contain 50 songs in 1 album? If this is not the case, is it possible to fix it?

    This seems to be a bug in iTunes. I got this tip from user on how to solve this problem.

  • Behavior of music Apple tenacious with a few songs from an album.

    I'll give you all the real names of the artist and album to help make it clear what behavior annoying that I see. I have a live DVD of John Elton called One Night Only and I ripped the audio myself, the intention is to download songs and listen to them just the music (not video). I have all the songs, one by one, identified and correctly tag (mp3id tag). 27 songs in total. I then go to iTunes and make library/Add; point to the directory containing 27 songs and they are added (for my music [local]) without problems. right afterwards, they are uploaded to Apple music. So far so good. If I listen to ANY track on iTunes, I get the right song.

    I then point my iPhones (two of them) my library of Apple's music (both have iCloud library on) and tell them to download all the songs (for offline listening). MOST of the songs is properly stored, but SOME are replaced by the STUDIO VERSIONS of the same song. 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' and 'Your Song' are two of them. Only 4 of the 27 songs have that effect.

    PLEASE HELP ME! I'M GOING NUTS!

    Thank you!

    Have you tried to give the titles of the odd names? I remember reading somewhere that someone had tried it with success.

  • Cannot select multiple clips on the timeline at the same time...?

    Hello

    I have a new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10. I'm running the first Pro V. 8.1

    When I click on a clip on the timeline, and then press SHIFT and click on something else in the meantime program to select all the clips in the meantime... it doesn't.

    Known issue? I am ex-FCP7 and I want to really make my go-to new Premier Pro, but not be able to select several clips is problematic.

    See you soon

    MD

    I think it's just how it works, not sure of any option to change it. It discusses the shift as ctrl/cmd, very strange.  You can use the mouse to drag a box on the clamps. There are also track select Tools from the toolbar.

  • What is the best way to select multiple tracks?

    So, imagine that you have a sequence like this:

    Unselected.png

    And you want to accomplish the following selection:

    Selected.png

    What is the best way to do that has no shift + selection 12 times? I had FCP where I could click the top left and then shift + click on the lower right and get a selection of range in this way. But obviously it works differently in first. If I wanted to include A5 - 7 in the selection, I could do just a selection rectangle, but someone at - it a convenient way to select several clips landlocked like that?

    The fastest way I can think to do is to temporarily make the slightly shorter left selected top clip so that it has an ATM next to him, then use your mouse to drag and drop around all clips. You must again extend the left top clip again after the fact. Alternatively, you could catch the entire section, then shift select the ones that you don't need. In addition, shift-make drag a marquee selection that includes selected clips deselects them.

  • Cannot sync the new songs from IPod after transfer library external HD

    A few days ago, I consolidated my library on my external HD to clear a space on my PC (Surface Pro 3). Then, yesterday, I downloaded a new album and even though my iPod shows on ITunes it has not added the new album.

    Music sync is unchecked, but I don't want to lose what is now on my IPod to Sync music. I tried to do the thing "Choose library", but when I click on the ITunes Media folder on my external hard drive it opens just the folder. It won't let me set it as my library.

    Any suggestions on what to do?

    Sound like you may not be having the media on external rather than the entire library. If so the shift Start iTunes, use the option create and make a new iTunes library called iTunes at the root of the drive, move your media folder in the iTunes folder and then add content to the library. See make a library of portable split for some information on the Organization of the library.

  • Satellite P20: Device DVD Player reads only the DVD but cannot burn CD & DVD

    Hello

    I have a toshiba P20, and I'm having a lot of problems with it. One of them is my DVD UJ811. I don't really know what is happening, the drive was already replaced and a few weeks later, it was exactly like the front, and the service provider made me pay almost 70EUR for a budget of 400EUR rejected.

    I would like to know what really should do, I can't read the CD and I can not burn CD/DVDs, I can just read DVDs, nothing else.

    I have seen some forums on the net, too many people in the world has the same problem I have and I really need to know what is the best solution for me.
    Thank you

    Hello Rafael

    I'm very surprised by your post it here because I've used Satellite P20-303 (a red) about two years. Laptop is now used by my brother and it works perfectly. I don't really know what problems you have, but I never noticed anything suspicious. Up to now I removed the cooling Grill on the bottom twice to clean the unit, and that's all. After that laptop computer cleanup runs a lot more quiet then before.

    Back to ad: I have to be honest and say that I traded with TEAC DV - W22E DVD - rom. original drive was DVD - RW and TEAC DV-W22E DVD-RAM. My brother use it pretty extensively, but until now there is no problem at all.

    I don't really know what the service is doing, but if possible replace the drive TEAC one. I can tell you with certainty, it works very well. Moreover, according to the description of your problem, I am sure that the drive is faulty.
    You can replace one. It's very simple to do.
